No-Bake Mini Pumpkin Tarts (grain free)

This month's Gluten Free Ratio Rally challenge: tarts...Savory tarts, sweet tarts...with the rally crew, you never know what kind of creative masterpieces you'll run across! This month, I see that there are some new bloggers! So if that's you, welcome to the rally :)

I have been anxiously awaiting this Gluten Free Ratio Rally, so that I could share these... My sister loves the crust on these, and has asked me to make it more than once since I started experimenting with this recipe :)

The ratio for the crust is the same ratio for cookies-- 3 parts flour: 2 parts fat: 1 part sugar.

The only drawback about these tarts is that, since the crust is made
with coconut oil--and not baked--if it sits at room temperature too
long, the coconut oil will begin to soften, making the tarts crumbly. So
these are best served while keeping chilled, or somewhere that you know
they will be gobbled up almost immediately! :)

These look amazing! I truly love anything pumpkin and these little guys are SO cute too! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party last week! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! :) I hope that you'll join us this week to share more yummies! Also, be sure to stop back by to see who the winner of the Planet Rice will be! The winner will be announced at GFF #9 Cindy from vegetarianmamma.com
